In the world of K-dramas, fans often find themselves ‘shipping’ the on-screen pairings of actors whose chemistry transcends on-screen performance.
South Korean actress Kim Ji Won and one of the highest-paid actors in Korea, Kim Soo Hyun, were no exception to this trend, especially after leading the K-drama hit ‘Queen of Tears’.
The two have already sparked dating rumors among fans due to their off-screen interactions and appearances on various shows before, but this time, fans are more convinced that there is indeed a growing connection between them.
On May 12, Kim Ji Won graced Incheon Airport with her presence as she was set to attend an upcoming Bulgari event in Singapore. Due to the nature of her work, she was seen surrounded by a team of security personnel as fans took photos and videos of her arrival.
Everything seems ordinary, until some fans noticed that she is accompanied by the bodyguard strikingly similar to the one often seen with actor Kim Soo Hyun during his international appearances.

Some say that this might be a coincidence, citing the possibility that the bodyguard was arranged through a third-party security service.
As of this writing, neither party has officially confirmed any romantic involvement.
